I see pulled pork and greens in their future.

And a wee dram for the damp.

Maybe some Brits looking for a safe space now that Britain is becoming part of the caliphate?

I’ll see their fish and chips and raise a pulled pork bbq with sides of mustard greens and grits and a tall iced tea.

I would tell them (or any tourist, for that matter) to visit Montgomery, AL. What a jewel that city has become! From the visitor center (old Union Station) on the river to the Rosa Parks Museum and the Southern Poverty Law Center Civil Rights Memorial, it’s a place of history to be cherished and remembered.

>> In part, this renewed curiosity is rooted in a search for an authentically American experience

Authenticity? Every corner and enclave of the States has something uniquely Americana and authentic to offer.

I would encourage anyone to visit the places along our beautiful Gulf Coast from Texas back to Florida. Beaches, historic sites, great food, wonderful folks with all sorts of accents and cultural influences, great music and art... Something for the international and even fellow American visitors to consider: the Deep South is an amazing blend of British, French, Spanish, African,and Native American cultures, with other European and even Asian communities contributing their influences, too. It’s beautiful, hot, humid and has scary critters, but I wouldn’t trade it for any other place! Proud to be a GRITS (Girl/grandmother raised in the South) and an American!:)

It’s because CA and NYC no longer look like US cities.

Well, I suppose this can't be a bad thing. At least Guardian readers will have a more legitimate experience than Disney World when they start spewing their hatred towards our food, our tipping practices, our spelling, our history, our roads, our towns, our bourbon, our weather, our friendliness and spontaneity, our “slave past”,etc.

The music in Nashville is amazing. Many bars have wonderful singers and bands trying to make their big break...and they are free except for the beer you consume listening to them.

And the people in the South are friendly and inviting.

Many great restaurants and home cooking.

During the recent EU soccer games, the local German restaurant was packed with Europeans, especially Germans. Nearly all were bi-lingual, and they had a great affection for beer.

The Southern dialect is the closest to what Brits spoke like when they first came here what with the “y’alls” (ye all) and drawls and so forth.

“bourbon distilleries in Tennessee and Kentucky”

Sales of Jack Daniels have overtaken Famous Grouse in the UK. Jack is seen as a good time party drink while scotch is viewed as stuffy.
